I agree about secrets in an Army unit. I got out after being an enlisted guy in the Army for 20+ years in 2004. I never heard anything about stuff like this in the Army. 50,000 guys? I also cannot imagine a CO telling a victim of something like this that it must have been his fault when he reported it. I call pure BS on it.
Likewise, they are condoning the homsexual rape of men because it is politically incorrect (risky) to say do otherwise!
No, I had no trouble believing the Maj. Nidal thing. There is no way in the world I believe this. I have heard of incompetent and unstable servicemembers getting a pass for unacceptably crazy or stupid behavior before (see Major Metzger). I never heard a whisper about stuff like this going on in my entire time in the Army. I work around soldiers and spoke with a couple today and they did not believe it either. The easiest explanation is that Newsweek is full of it in this case.
